SBF Tmax Cafe

actually hor.. i do understand that H&B panniers have a particular "weak spot", where it can get "cut", and the panneirs can be broken into easily...

 

saw somewhere in SBF that just a few weeks ago, a GS got the H&B panniers broken into, right in front of the Beach Rd Food Centre, lost his helmets and riding gears....

wonder if Mark C knows anything abt it ....

 

thats y go get the junior 40 or 45. u can pad lock the box handles. actually H&B got many weak spots. the strongest spot is the plastic box itself. its the toughest. test by many.

hehee..btw i went to check rack for 08 tmax..wah lau..OEM yamaha 1 must remove grab tail,givi 1 got 2 metals going under to the rear mudguard..hepco 1 no pic..seepae sian..btw the underseat can put 2 half face anot ar?

side-track abit, anyone here knows why's a good place to go to to fix some changes on my Tmax's headlights??

 

i'm thinking of changin to Duo-headlights instead of the standard one-sided...

 

but if like this, should be also needing to change to duo-filament bulbs too??

 

any recommended shops to do such electrical mods??

 

Mr Cheeko, you've experimented ard with HIDs on yr TMax, any things to share based on yr experience??

great idea though. but not forgetting, the headlight is the 2nd most electicity consumption item in the bike after the starter motor. then factory design is that your bike's battery can support 1 headlight (H7) and 'not so often' high beam (also H7). but if u were to change to double filament bulbs, means both (H4) bulbs, your headlight confirm consume much more electricity. Unless you're talking abt changing both to H.I.D. bulbs.

also not forgetting, for the high beam that side, u have to adjust the bulb position lower. cos its design to point upwards.

[Swing 7777]

ya..not advisable..very leh cheh...just change to diamond vision..gd enuff..or try n get projector bulbs frm R6..see can fit anot..

[cxcx]

can always get 35W one over the 55w bulbs. That should sort the power issue

[cheeko]

bro.learn more abt the Fi models leh..

 

yo swing777, actually FI also abt the same, if got any problem just let me noe, mostly i would have experience b4 & solve liao, but then usually new bikes dun have much problems or need to service much. . When wana go kulai for nasi lemak again? we can change bikes. Mine is still as powerful as before like last time

Yes, i do understand that it'll consume more of the power/battery, but i'm prepared to change batteries more often loh, not a prob. but u seem to imply that changin to HID will NOT cause a higher consumption of power?? is that true??

Bro, care to explain more on this?? TKS

 

Cheeko, care to come out of your hibernation mode and share yr info on this topic??

confirm chop. i used to ride runner also. all my friends also change to Phillips diamond vision. can shine much further. but might need to adjust your headlight height.

very true. do the test yourself after changing to HID. use a multimeter to test before and after u change.

Ya man, now seriously considering to change the highbeam bulb to HID. Any recommended shops or HIDs??

swing777, u got any intention to change ur rear suspension? if wan let me noe, we can order together.

wat u mean by adjust the headlamp height?

[Swing 7777]

but now i riding duke wo..

[cxcx]

I used to use 55W on the pair of lights on my x9, but factory specs is 35w model, which would be cooler and uses less juice. Its almost as bright. Good enough for local use. But I think for NS highway, HID would be better.
